The most comprehensive source for news about the Brooklyn Nets.
There’s a stack of notebooks that are never too far from hand. They hold within them every single action a wiry high school sophomore has taken since he decided to leave behind his home state of New Jersey to transfer to a Lutheran school an hour and a half away in Long Island. “His work […]
It’s been quite the Spring for Brooklyn Nets assistant coach Steve Hetzel. In early April, Fred Katz and Eric Nehm of The Athletic mentioned him in a story meant to highlight the top candidates to be first-time NBA head coaches this offseason. Earlier this week, Sam Amick, also of The Athletic, reported that Hetzel is a finalist […]
It’s finally here, the big day. The NBA Lottery takes place Sunday. Is it the biggest day for the Nets franchise history since the move to Brooklyn? Hardly. That would be “Clean Sweep” back in June 2019 when the Nets signed Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan. (Less said about what happened next the […]
This is not how the New York Liberty wanted to start to the season. Sabrina Ionescu is out two weeks with an ankle injury, Satou Sabally, a stunning free-agent addition, did not appear in either of New York’s preseason games. Rebecca Allen ain’t ready to play either. Leonie Fiebich and Raquel Carrera likely won’t arrive […]
The WNBA is back and the New York Liberty are hoping to make it back to the WNBA Finals. When we last saw the seafoam, they were in the midst of a frustrating and ultimately disappointing playoff exit at the hands of the Phoenix Mercury. With a retooled roster and plenty of other changes, they’re […]
First it was the Basketball Hall of Fame in August 2024. Then it was his jersey retirement in Brooklyn in January 2025. Now, Vince Carter will be honored once again by the Brooklyn Nets. On Sunday, VC will be the Nets representative on the dias for the NBA Lottery, hoping the same luck that sustained […]
The Brooklyn Nets plan last season was not some mystery. From Media Day back in September, it’s been about “playing the probabilities” and “flexibility.” Could you call it tanking? In response, Nets officialdom did everything but paraphrase the fictional prime minister in the British House of Cards TV series: “You might very well think that; […]
You’ve heard it before. Back in early 2019, before they had assumed full control of the Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center, Joe and Clara Wu Tsai decided after a plea from Adam Silver to rescue the New York Liberty and by extension, the whole WNBA. They bought the franchise at around $12 to $14 million, […]
NBA players aren’t sure how they feel about Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernández. Wednesday morning, The Athletic dropped a report detailing the results of its anonymous latest player poll. Before anything else, it asked who’s the most underrated player in the league. Jalen Johnson and Derrick White were the top vote-getters, but Michael Porter […]
The Brooklyn Nets agreed to extensions with Jordi Fernández and his entire coaching less than three weeks ago. Opposing NBA teams are already looking to break them up. Tuesday morning, Sam Amick of The Athletic wrote a story pooling together everything he’s heard regarding the head coaching searches active around the league. In it, he […]
Back in October when the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns traveled to Macao for the NBA China Games, there was a lot of attention paid to the return of the league to China and, for Brooklyn fans, the debut of the Flatbush 5. Then, near the end of the celebrations, somewhat out of the spotlight, […]
While everyone’s focused on the NBA Draft lottery Sunday, the actual players making that such an exciting event will get their first official evaluations as NBA prospects in the coming days as well. It’s all happening in Chicago starting Sunday. The NBA Draft combine will take place from May 10-17 at Wintrust Arena and the […]
Is the tanking man a sucker? We’ll know in about a week. The NBA lottery is just a few days away, and we’re nervous as ever in Brooklyn. At the same time, a few ex-Nets are making noise in the NBA playoffs while the Liberty are gearing up for a title run of their own. […]
The pre-season finale serves multiple purposes. You get another opportunity to evaluate players that are competing for roster spots. The coach gets to implement more of their schemes that they will carry into the regular season. And your main rotation get some valuable minutes against live competition before the season begins. The New York Liberty […]
While fans in Philadelphia and New York prepare for what looks like a classic Eastern Conference playoff series this week, Brooklyn fans will be looking forward to next Sunday’s NBA Lottery in Chicago. Their third worst record gives them a 14.0% shot at the overall No. 1, a 52.1% shot at a top four pick […]
We’re back. The New York Liberty opened the preseason on April 25 against the Indiana Fever. They lost 109-91, but put some good tape together that they can build on. The opponent tonight is gearing up for a long season. The Connecticut Sun are embarking to Houston starting in 2027, but have to finish things […]
It’s that time of year again. Michael Porter Jr. is on the podcast circuit with its usual misogyny, assorted hangers-on and certified weirdness that, sadly, we’ve become accustomed to. He’s been warned about it and we’ve commented on it. But as in the past, there’s usually some news amidst the detritus: After intially admitting to […]
The trade the Brooklyn Nets made to acquire the #22 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, which they used to select Drake Powell, was a smart move. In addition to Powell, the Nets received Terance Mann in the deal, or more accurately, they relieved the Atlanta Hawks of his contract. Mann is owed roughly […]
To be frank, mock drafts don’t mean that much at this point. Teams have only started working out and interviewing players. Sure they’ve seen all the top picks multiple times, in some cases more than 10, but that’s just part of the process. After the workouts and interviews come meetings between the scouts who fill […]
For the first time in years, the Brooklyn Nets will be doing double-duty in the summer, adding three games at the Sacramento-based California Classic in early July to their already scheduled minimum of five games at the Las Vegas Summer League. The announcement came via Tweet from the Nets official account. Brooklyn will play the […]
The Brooklyn Nets made an early entry into the offseason. We knew it would be this way for several weeks, but it’s still a bit striking to see a bushel of teams duking it out on national television every night, and our guys cosplaying as Arthur Morgan or sitting court side with Ice Spice. Yes, […]
It’s that time of year again for us: time to update things just as we’ve done for 19 straight seasons. We aren’t going to count them up, but this is around our 400th report through thick (mostly) and thin. Like many previous ones, it will be numbers-heavy. Deal with it. This year, off-course, is different. […]
Why did the Brooklyn Nets select Egor Dëmin at #8 in the 2025 NBA Draft? “I think the first and foremost was the IQ. We loved how he played the game, how he moved the ball, involved his teammates. He saw one, two plays ahead. Obviously the size for position, you know, is great, when […]
Pre-season is a great time to fine-tune things. You’ve got actions to install, rhythms to develop, and players to evaluate. For the New York Liberty, this pre-season represents an opportunity to work some things out. The seafoam began the two game pre-season slate with an afternoon matchup against the Indiana Fever on a rainy Brooklyn […]
At long last, we’ve got WNBA basketball! It took a long time to get here, but here we are and the New York Liberty are looking to get back to the WNBA Finals. They’re looking pretty different from when we last saw them, but they’re still plenty good and have a chance to do something […]
